A case was brought and it was settled, for a nice sum.

Which does not in any way reflect negatively on Cain.
He was not charged with a criminal offence.
He was not involved in the decision making process to award these people some form of settlement. He was probably not even kept informed of the Restaurant Association's decision. He would have, at most, been asked to sign a waiver to absolve the Association of any responsibility to
HIM. This allows them to respond to the allegations brought against
THEM without having to consider his wishes in the matter at all.
How many times does it need explanation? It is not only common practice to have awards made without any guilt being established but,
has become the norm! That is the reason why this problem is so prevalent in society.
You might think this is counter-intuitive but you'd be wrong!
Every organization has legal representation on retainer to protect itself from harm. Every organization; being presented with a complaint would pass it past their legal beagles. The lawyers simply perform a bean counter exercise of comparing costs to make it go away
or fight it aggressively in court.
So many of these cases are simply paid-out to prevent the on-going costs of lawyer's and associated court costs spiralling into the stratosphere.
If you believe otherwise; have a chat with your vehicle insurance agency and glean details of how an accident of no fault to a policy-holder can result in a payment by that insurance agency to a claimant over things such as "whiplash" or "mental anguish". You've all seen those folks wearing the cervical collars who are out bowling and performing activities seemingly at odds with that stupid collar haven't you?
They file an action with no substantive proof of liability to either the policy-holder or the agency but they manage to keep it percolating until the lawyer for the agency, during a coffee break in deposition proceedings, asks the plaintifs lawyer this little innocent question: "what are your clients looking to accomplish with this suit"? Hence: "they'd like some reimbursement for costs and associated pain and stress";....BINGO! Now the negotiating begins with no thought of the taint to the individuals reputation or character.
That's all she wrote folks: your insurance agencies have paid out of pocket on your behalf when you were neither at fault or even aware there was a claim made! Get over it! Grow a brain cell and look into these stupid out of court settlements before you rush to judgement on
ANY of your candidates over retarded crap like this.
Time to move on with this stupid worshipping at the craven idol of your mainstream media while they manufacture traction and fill air time with an issue of absolutely no importance to the abilities or skills of somone you wish to govern your country.
An informed electorate is one thing; but that information is being fed to you by agencies with an agenda! You are responsible for sorting the wheat from the chaff and this tid-bit of nonsense is part of the damn
chaff people!
If you continue to follow your idiotic press to the polls on voting day you will
CONTINUE getting exactly what you deserve and have had for far too many years of your disfunctional politics!
